Bowen took the helm last month , replacing David Gandler, who co-founded the company and had led it as CEO since its launch in 2015. Disney in 2025 took a 70% stake in Fubo as part of a settlement of an antitrust lawsuit brought over the never-launched Venu Sports, a joint venture backed by Disney, Fox Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery. Fubo has remained a separately traded company, operating both FuboTV and Hulu + Live TV as separate services.
